6 Grab-and-Go Breakfasts

By Sarah-Jane Bedwell, SELF magazine We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But knowing that doesn't prevent obstacles to eating breakfast (alarm didn't go off, bad hair day ) from getting in the way on a regular basis. In a perfect world, we'd all have time to sit down each more and eat a leisurely, balanced breakfast but sometimes it's an accomplishment to just get out the door! That's why I thought it might be helpful to create a list of grab-and-go breakfasts that are easy, but also balanced. All these breakfasts follow an easy pattern to keep them nutritionally sound and filling: a serving of protein, a serving of whole grains, a serving of fruit/veggie, and a little fat. No cooking required! Keep this list handy (I printed it out and put it on my fridge) for mornings when you need to get out of the door quickly.
